AS 54

AS 54

A medium early hybrid with strong roots and fast early growth, an elastic stalk resistant to plant lodging and breaking.

The ears are uniform and filled to the top, about 22 cm long with 16 or 18 nicely compound rows of medium large reddish-yellow kernels.

It has a very thin corncob, which gives a high yield percentage of the kernels in the harvest.

No barren plants.

RECOMMENDATION

Very stable grain yields in all years.

Intended for the intensive production of dry kernels on good quality lowlands with the use of good agricultural technology.

The sowing density is from 68.000 to 75.000 plants/ha (on 19- 22 cm in a row).

In good growing conditions sow more densely and in the poorer ones sow less densely.

PLANT POPULATION

The recommended sowing density in poorer conditions is from 60.000 to 64.000 plants/ha, in optimal conditions from 65.000 to 69.000 plants/ha and under irrigation conditions from 70.000 to 75.000 plants/ha.
